“The club is satisfied with the performances of its midfielders this season, but no one is considered indispensable should an attractive offer arrive.”
These are the words from the Gazzetta dello Sport regarding the future of the Nerazzurri squad. Should reinforcements be necessary, the club has already begun identifying players.
“The club has long been interested in Sporting Lisbon’s Portuguese midfielder William Carvalho, but also the Frenchman Wylan Cyprien (currently of Nice) and Italian starlet Nicolo Barella.”
The club is also investigating the possibility of a reunion between coach Luciano Spalletti and Roma’s midfielder Kevin Strootman. Although the Roman club may wish to avoid strengthening a direct rival, it has been previously reported that the players contract includes a buy-out clause of only €45 million.
Finally, the potential return of Mateo Kovacic from Real Madrid is losing momentum as Inter deem the player too expensive. The Croatian swapped Milan for Madrid for over €30 million in 2015.
